Steve Souza (knee) remains out Sunday for Rays

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Steve Souza (knee) remains out on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Souza has now missed two straight games with a bone bruise he suffered after running into the outfield wall. Mallex Smith is taking over in right field on Sunday and batting ninth against right-hander RIck Porcello.

Our models project Souza for a .261 batting average, with 3 home runs, 10 RBI, and 11 runs scored over 81 plate appearances remaining this season.
